[Elecraft] More on N0SS K3 External Speaker Splitter

[Paul Christensen]

Forgot to add that for high-density applications, Sub-D connectors are 
excellent when maximum reliability and easy disconnect are needed.  I like 
to use crimp Sub-Ds where the pin can be inserted into the connector body. 
That goes much faster with better repeatability than the solder Sub-D types. 
If needed, a fanned break-out cable can be created, using the end connectors 
of one's choice.
